If it gets signed then I don't see this as being anything more than a vanity fight for Rousey but there could be a more interesting narrative coming out the event if Holm gets booked on the same card and with Cyborg also scheduled to fight in December.

2015 could be a BIG year for the women's division and the Carano bout will serve to create publicity and attract a few new eyes to the sport if nothing else.

I love Gina.. but... what? no tune up fight to see if she can make weight??

Sadly, which I suspected, it seems she just wants the $$.

I have no interest in watching Ronda do to her exactly what happened to Alexis Davis. If Carano had any self respect at all or a care for this sport she would train and take a warm up fight, but like most of us knew it was just for the paycheck..

Ronda is going to destroy her.. Gina has been away from the sport too long just to jump in there and think she can do anything other than get a beating.

"I leave this as a declaration of intent, so no one will get confused. 1: Si vis pacum para bellum. Latin. If you want peace, prepare for war. 2: Frank Castle is dead. He died with his family. 3: In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacies, it is necessary to act outside the law. To pursue natural justice. This isn't vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response. No, not vengeance. Punishment "

Wow, now that is the biggest joke I have ever heard. I can only imagine how Zingano feels about this........

Why would it be a good idea to book Zingano in a title fight after a near year and a half layoff? Let her come back, prove she is fully fit and shake off the ring rust. Otherwise she is just another lamb to the slaughter who Rousey will get no credit for beating.

I didn't say that Zingano should necessarily be in a title fight, but I think Zingano should be offered the opportunity before anyone else, because she earned it, and let her decide if she is ready or not. GSP did just fine, after his lengthy layoff, against Condit. If she declines, the shot should go to someone who is deserving of that opportunity.
